Burke County Wills, Tax Digests

The land which formed Burke County was ceded to the English by the Creek
Treaties of 1733, 1735 and 1736. By an Act of March 15, 1758 the parish
of St. George was established. The county was named for Edmund Burke, a
member of the British Parliament who championed the rights of the
American colonies. Between 1793 and 1905, the legislature took land from
Burke County to help form the new counties of Screven (1793), Jefferson
(1796), and Jenkins (1905), and to add area to Richmond County (1841).
The county seat of Waynesboro was established in 1794, named after the
Revolutionary War hero General. The first will book did not survive.
Will Book A, as is included herein, began in 1855; however, the earliest
will found in that batch was dated in 1803. Essentially, 1855 and
later is more specific to the probate date than to the date in which the
wills were signed.

About Me

After having researched multiple families from much has been learned about the pivotal roles which each o them played in building America. Everyone's ancestor whether in the history books or not, helped to build this country. I have probably traced over 100,000 names and am so familiar with the early colonists that I can just about open a discussion about any ancestor in the Southeast regions. If done properly, a tedious research will unfold the daily lives of each subject. I suppose that I am a fanatic now, however, an awareness of the experiences of your and my ancestors makes the history of America precious. I could sit down and talk (just about any) colonial ancestor with you. Hence, the desire to share my information with you. My researches are all heavily documented and I have discovered the intricate details which others cannot find. Jeannette Holland Austin www.georgiapioneers.com
